Version	2015/08/17 (08/17/2015)
Changelog

URW, or "Unofficial Rough Work", is one of the few Elona variants that are based on 1.16 Christmas edition of official Elona. It ports a lot of features from other variants, such as being able to set the number of items you want to pick up from a stack on the ground from omake.

It is distributed with the BCF (Bugfix-Customtalk-FFHP) variant that works with Elona 1.16 stable (not Christmas Edition!), which contains only the bugfixes, sprite modifications, and other changes that do not affect game balance that are in URW.

URW works with the Christmas Edition, so please do not use it with 1.16 stable or 1.22. 1.16 Christmas Edition is available on for download on this non-official archive. (It's listed as "2009 Christmas Edition" on the page.)

If playing BCF, Elona 1.16 stable is available from the official Elona site (listed as Elona 1.16rfix2b).

There should be no problems using the save files from this variant with Elona 1.22 or other variants, but moving save files back and forth between Christmas Edition and URW may create frameshifts in the item data added in URW.

Also, be sure to backup save files before using them with these variants.
